dc.description.abstractThis Masters Thesis explores playwright, director, and performer Jesusa Rodriguez's satirical treatment of Mexican society, politics, and government in her two sketches La gira mamal de la Coatlicue and La Malinche en: Dios T. V., and in the one-act play Sor Juana en Almoloya. Pastorela virtual. In her work Rodriguez deconstructs and revises the official story to render new versions of old myths and beliefs. In her cabaret theatre she intertwines themes of the past and the present to trigger the audience's imagination, in an attempt to awaken their interest in Mexico' s cultural roots and to make provocative comments on societal ills. With her performances Rodriguez strives to create a more inclusive and egalitarian society.
